Just as Ralph Schumacher thought, Zhang Yifei did know that after the practice match, the outside world commented and ridiculed him.

However, it would be naïve to think that these ridicules can make you mentally unbalanced, so it would be naïve to run desperately on the first lap of qualifying and want to prove your strength!

I Zhang Yifei has never seen any scenes, it can be said that he has walked all the way with cold eyes and ridicule, the peak confrontation of 300,000 people in the United States Grand Prix has been carried hard, what kind of small scene is this person today?

If there is one thing that affects Zhang Yifei's mentality, it is some "banana people" on the track, and that superior and flattering appearance makes Zhang Yifei really want to vomit!

But he also doesn't need to prove anything to this kind of person, because when the result appears, as long as he is strong enough, this kind of person will change the object of flattery, lick his face and brag about himself.

Zhang Yifei just wanted to run a little faster, use Taishan's momentum to win the pole position of this Singapore Grand Prix. Because the advantage of pole position in street racing is too great, especially on the F1 circuit, where there are many strong players, if you fall behind, you may not be able to easily surpass it.

The first champion of the Singapore Grand Prix in history was Alonso, so the world will change history, and I Zhang Yifei also want to win this championship!

After overtaking Ralph Schumacher, Zhang Yifei continued to pick up speed without the slightest hesitation, catching up with Ferrari driver Barrichello in front of him.

Barrichello is known to be the number two driver of the Ferrari drivers, but in fact, it would not be an exaggeration to call him the number two in the F1 paddock. At least when driving a Ferrari, no one dares to underestimate Schumacher's "green" driver.

Zhang Yifei's astonishing move to surpass the three drivers at the start was naturally informed by the Ferrari strategy team to Barrichello. At this moment, he has the same problem as Ralph Schumacher before, whether to start fighting with the Chinese kid on the first lap, or to make the car at a better level regardless of his own pace?

In fact, according to Barrichello's own thoughts, he prefers to go at his own pace, so that qualifying can run faster laps.

Because Barrichello is different from the No. 2 driver of other teams, he and Schumacher became teammates, and he is destined to have no future!

This is not only a matter of the team's resources, even if there is no team to pull the frame, no one in the F1 paddock dares to say that he is in the same team as Schumacher, and can press this peak car god into a little brother.

So things like honors and dreams don't have much value for Barrichello, all he cares about is results.

The results will determine his contract extension at Scuderia Ferrari and will mean what his annual salary will be in the future.

At this stage last year, he may still suppress Zhang Yifei because he can't get by with his face. In any case, he is also the No. 2 man in the Ferrari team, the top driver in the paddock, so as not to let a Chinese newcomer overtake wantonly.

But this year he doesn't have that idea anymore, because how much is face worth? Is it worth one point, the $50,000 prize money from Scuderia Ferrari?

When Barrichello chose to renew his contract with the Scuderia Ferrari, he was doomed to the fate of just bad money, and at the same time, he also bowed his head for the money and chose to accept his fate.

So Barrichello wasn't fast, and by the halfway point of the first lap, Zhang had already caught up to the back of his car, ready to take on the strongest green driver in F1 history.

Zhang Yifei, who has a God's perspective, knows that Barrichello won the title of runner-up of the year this season, second only to Schumacher. Although the Ferrari F2002 Mars rover was not built for Barrichello, it does not overshadow the quality of the car and the strength of Barrichello at his peak.

Facing the red Ferrari car with the same "blood", Zhang Yifei really had a feeling of enthusiasm, and Ralph Schumacher chose to avoid the battle, so let's have a "cannibalism" with Barrichello!

At the same time, Ralph Schumacher, who followed Zhang Yifei, also locked his eyes on the two cars in front of him. The reason why he let Zhang Yi fly over was to see who was stronger between the two cars with the same Ferrari engine.

"The Chinese kid is really arrogant, is he ready to challenge Barrichello?"

Steiner, the manager of the Jaguar team, said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

In fact, there was no conflict between him and Zhang Yifei, on the contrary, when Zhang Yifei was most ostracized by the F1 paddock, Steiner was able to maintain an objective mindset and discuss the Chinese driver with Niki Lauda.

It's just that now, he has completely turned his face with Lauda and hates the house and Wu, and Steiner's impression of Zhang Yifei has also changed sharply. At this moment, he just thinks that after this kind of Chinese kid won the title of best newcomer last year, he is a little unaware of the height of the sky, and the qualifying competition is really arrogant.

"Or else? Do you want to step on the brakes and fall back into seventh place? ”

Niki Lauda, who has always been easier to speak, has become very tough at the moment.

You must know that Niki Lauda is known as a symbol of courage in F1, but it is only when he is older and becomes the management of the team that he seems a little polite, even weak, which is very similar to Prost.

But this doesn't mean that Lauda is a soft egg, and he used to give some face for the sake of his colleagues. Now that the power struggle has been torn apart, you team manager doesn't respect me as a team CEO, why should I give you face?

In the face of Lauda's sarcasm, Steiner sneered, they are all characters with heads and faces, and they are not enough to do shrews scolding the street in public.

However, he still replied in a weird way: "You are so optimistic about the Chinese kid, tell me how long it will take for him to overtake Barrichello?" ”

"Unreasonable."

Lauda snorted coldly, and after throwing off the sentence, he refocused his gaze on the broadcast screen.

Zhang Yifei wants to challenge Barrichello, which is what he has to do as a driver. What are you doing behind if you don't overtake, and eat some racing exhaust to wake up your brain?

But who can predict whether it can be surpassed and how long it will be?

Barrichello can be said to be on par with Zhang Yifei, and this year's racing performance is almost the same as the engine in terms of theoretical data. Anything can happen, and whoever can even predict this is God.

So Steiner's question is undoubtedly nonsense!

Zhang Yifei on the track, after catching up with Barrichello's wake, did not hesitate and launched a direct attack on him.

Barrichello didn't pick up the pace, still maintaining his normal lap time on the first lap, and he didn't look very eager to fight. But when Zhang Yifei was about to overtake, he would just right in front of Zhang Yifei.

The narrow road conditions of the Singapore circuit are less than 5 meters at the narrowest point, and it is difficult to overtake if the car in front of you deliberately blocks the car. That's why a lot of drivers in qualifying didn't want to do anything and put all their energy on the fastest lap.

Barrichello's meaning at the moment is obvious, it's impossible for me to give up the line like Ralph Schumacher, you have to overtake, show a little ability!

After several tentative attacks in a row, Zhang Yifei also quickly felt Barrichello's psychological thoughts. So instead of pressing Barrichello, he followed him to Turn 17 of the circuit.

The bend is a V-shaped right-hand heavy braking turn, but it's a bumpy stretch of the road that can easily make it easy for riders to miss the best braking spots. And when it's time to get out of a corner quickly, the shoulder is an unavoidable option, so Turn 17 has become a regular overtaking spot at the Singapore circuit.

Zhang Yifei knew that this was the overtaking point, so Barrichello also knew that he saw that Zhang Yifei endured a few corners without a strong attack, and he probably knew in his heart that the Chinese driver would attack at the 17th corner after all.

So at this time, Barrichello relied on the advantage of the position of the front car and seized the best cornering route before, so he wanted to see what kind of novel overtaking route Zhang Yifei could run.

What Barrichello didn't expect was that the overtaking point prepared by Zhang Yifei was not on the corner, but on the short straight before entering the corner!

It may be that the performance of Prost racing cars was too rubbish before, and Zhang Yifei rarely overtook in short straights, but more relied on extreme late braking and overtaking in corners at a bending speed. Therefore, other teams, whether they study Zhang Yifei's driving style or watch his race video, have no special operation on the short straight.

Over time, a kind of inertial psychology will be formed, and more defense of Zhang Yifei will be placed on the corner, rather than on the straight before entering the corner.

This time, Barrichello obviously thought wrong, and after the 16th turn came out, Zhang Yifei had already accelerated at full throttle. Relying on the wake of the car in front and the specially tuned low torque gear ratio, the Prost AP05 car has an amazing ability to accelerate short distances!

Almost at the moment after the corner, Zhang Yifei completed the "slingshot ejection", and then accelerated the front of the car with a foot of floor oil over the rear of the Barrichello car, and the speed became faster and faster, before the 17th corner into the corner, Zhang Yifei overtook the whole car, and took the lead in the best tangent line of the corner.

Didn't give Barrichello any chance to stop at Turn 17!

Prost racing so fast?

This situation was completely unexpected by Barrichello, he never thought that Zhang Yifei directly relied on the performance of the car, taking advantage of his slack when he came out of the corner, and completed the overtaking on the short straight, and he couldn't wait for the next corner to enter the corner!

The car also equipped with a Ferrari engine faced each other head-to-head on the track for the first time, and it was actually the genuine Ferrari F2002 Mars rover that lost!

Piracy defeated the original, and Barrichello looked at the Ferrari red on the AP05 car in front of him, and suddenly felt so dazzling.
